“Excellent watch at a great price. Shipping was quick even to Canada, arriving in under 2 weeks. It's the perfect size watch. I like the minimal printing on the dial, nice and simple. There is a little play in the unidirectional bezel and I want the clicks to be heavier. It says the power reserve is 41 hrs but I've found it dead in the morning after taking it off at night. Maybe it was not fully wound. These are just minor gripes. At this price you can't really beat it!”
“First off, I received the watch extremely quickly! About 3 days from my order placed to receiving the watch.
Second, I was really impressed with the overall quality of the packaging, protection, and ultimately the watch itself. I was a little hesitant to purchase the 38mm model. I have a 7" wrist which seems to put my in the middle of a few different sizes. I almost returned the watch for the larger 43mm, but after having it on the wrist for a day or so, I have no doubt it will be the daily driver for the distant future.
Third, LUME! This thing is pretty intense in the dark.
Overall, very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it to others on the fence.”
“This is my new favorite watch. It is comfortable and seems durable. I have had it on my wrist more or less nonstop for a few weeks. The movement has performed more accurately than I hoped it would. Generally speaking I am completely satisfied. I believe this product offers a lot of value for the price point. It is evident the folks at Long Island Watch are taking great care to produce watches which are intended to endure the test of time. I am happy I took a chance on this brand. I would not hesitate to recommend the Islander family of watches.
P.S. I immediately received compliments and inquiries about my watch. That is a pretty cool bonus experience!”
“Great great watch, unfortunately the pins in the bracelet could not be removed, not even by my jewler, so i had to replace it with a strapcode jubilee.”
“Very nice watch for the price given the feature set. The colors really pop.The lume is very good and the sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel and solid end links are certainly nice features.
The downers that keep this from 5 star review.The bezel isn't the best.Mine happens to be fairly difficult to turn and doesn't seem to have very distinctive clicks either.I kinda assume mine is not what it should be.I own two other watches with dive bezels and this one feels the worst to manipulate in terms of both effort and feel.
Last gripe the bracelet.The pins are so tight in my example I bent 3 tips on my albeit cheapish pin removal tool trying to size it. I have sized several watches previously with the same tool set and never had any such problems.Even with the pins knocked 2/3rds of the way out I had to grab a pair of pliers and grab the end and really tug to completely pull them out.They are super super tight.And yes I was following the arrows and going the proper direction.”
“I got this watch cause it has so much for a great price. Sapphire crystal, Seiko hacking and hand winding day date movement, ceramic Bessel. Great lume and nice bracelet. That’s a lot for $299. I hope they do a field watch next! This is my fifth watch from Long Island Watch we’re pleased with the dealer. Highly recommended.”
“VERY HAPPY WITH THE WATCH OVERALL FOR THE PRICE BUT FOR:
1. POOR QUALITY CONTROL - THE BEZEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN AND I'M ONLY NOW MANAGING TO TURN THE BEZEL WITHOUT USING A CLOTH TO HOLD IT IN.
2. DISAPPOINTED WITH THE VERY THIN STEEL USED ON THE CLASP OF THE BRACELET.
3. DISAPPOINTED THERE WAS NO ISLANDER LOGO ON THE CROWN.”
